Commercial Refrigeration Coil Cleaning in Glendale, CA

In busy Glendale kitchens, markets, and cold rooms, coils collect grease, dust, and sugars that block airflow and act like insulation. The result is higher head pressure, longer run times, temperature swings, and unnecessary wear on compressors and fan motors. Our commercial refrigeration coil cleaning brings those surfaces back to design performance—helping you maintain stable product temps, reduce energy costs, and cut unplanned downtime.

Why coil cleaning matters

Clean evaporator and condenser coils restore heat transfer, which directly improves case pull‑down and recovery, keeps discharge pressures in check, and reduces compressor amperage. That’s not just efficiency—it’s asset protection. Coils kept clean also reduce odors and biofilm that can migrate into air streams in walk‑ins and prep areas visited by staff.

• Stabilize case and walk‑in temperatures for product safety
• Reduce kWh and demand charges by improving heat transfer
• Lower compressor head pressure and extend equipment life
• Help prevent nuisance trips, icing, and hot‑case alarms
• Support maintenance records for audits and inspections

What’s included in our service

• System assessment: visual inspection of evaporator and condenser sections, fans, fins, pans, drains, and surrounding airflow
• Protect and isolate: floor and product protection, lockout/tagout as required, and safe work areas
• Coil cleaning: targeted application of food‑safe foaming cleaner or steam, low‑pressure rinse to protect fins, and thorough debris removal
• Fin straightening: careful fin combing to restore coil surface area
• Condensate care: pan cleaning, drain clearing, and sanitization to help prevent clogs and odors
• Component wipe‑down: fan blades, shrouds, and accessible housings
• Performance verification: photos, delta‑T, suction/discharge checks where accessible, and temperature recovery notes
• Documentation: before/after images and maintenance log entries for your records

Industries and equipment we service

Service plans and scheduling

Grease load, dust from nearby roads, and seasonal wildfire particulate can all accelerate coil fouling in Glendale. Most sites benefit from quarterly cleaning for condensers and semi‑annual service for evaporators, with monthly light clean‑downs in heavy grease environments. We offer off‑hours and coordinated scheduling to minimize disruption, including early mornings and nights.

After each visit, you receive a report with photos and performance notes so you can demonstrate proactive maintenance during audits and health inspections. Need help determining frequency? We’ll evaluate your environment, hours of operation, and equipment type to recommend a plan that fits your risk and budget.

Safety, methods, and compliance

Our process aligns with manufacturer recommendations and industry best practices. We select cleaning methods and chemistries appropriate for your coil metals and application, apply low‑pressure rinsing to protect fins, and contain runoff responsibly. Where food exposure is possible, we use food‑area‑appropriate cleaners and follow safe handling and ventilation procedures.
